They have workshops, presentation, information displays and a chance to book a 20 minute slot with a gadget guru. Topics include blogging, privacy and managing online presence, getting the most from your MP3 and digital photography. I love the way they have sprinkled the timetable with a couple of introductory sessions to the library&#8217;s online resources.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>3.
